ESPAGNOLETTE OR MULTI POINT DOOR HANDLES IN AVON DESIGN

Multi point or espagnolette locks are becoming more popular. They offer the extra security of having three locking points. If you have this type of lock, you need specially made door handles to suit. They are adapted to be unsprung to allow for an upwards movement, they need a Euro lock hole and generally a spacing of 92mm between the centre of the lock hole and the centre of the spindle hole. This distance means that the handle backplates are longer than for normal door handles.

If you are after traditional looking door handles these can be hard to find. You search is over, as we have just introduced our Avon design in black iron and pewter patina finish, specially made to go with multi point locks. These are available to order on our website. We can also get the Gothic and the Gothic curved designs if you prefer these – contact us for details.

Yes you can use proper nice handles on the upvc, but only if they have a bolt fix. You can’t use standard wood screws into upvc, but a bolt fix means you screw into bolts in the other side of the handle and not the wood, so they will hold fine. If you are interest e-mail or call me and I can assist with your choice. Vicki
